Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Consideration and Implications of 2024 Health Services Funding: Discussion
Mr. Bernard Gloster:
Ms McGirr, who has been technically involved in this for many years, may be able to describe the process better than I can. In simple terms, however, coming towards the end of the year there are two possibilities. The first is that we can receive a once-off allocation that assists with our cashing position for the current year. The second is that we can receive a revised estimated position, where money goes into the base for 2023 as it heads into 2024. The piece that goes into the base will determine what our position next year will be in terms of the scale of the challenge and the piece that is once-off will determine how much we clear this year and how much we might end up carrying forward on the balance sheet. Ms McGirr might have a more technical description of that.
